| teenage boys
and high school english Practicing high school English and author Bruce Pirie has found the evidence unmistakable: teenage boys are not as successful in English studies as girls. Boys are also less likely to enjoy reading or see themselves as committed English students. Why is that? And, more important, what can a teacher do about it? His book answers these questions and offers practical strategies that address boys' difficulties not only in reading and writing, but in speaking, listening, thinking, and feeling as well. Bruce Pirie Foreword by Deborah Appleman |

masculinity boys, literacy, and popular culture Post-Columbine has been a time when the issue of popular culture and the behavior of boys has generated more heat censorship and worse-alarm, irrationality, and a failure to examine our ways of teaching, particularly teaching literacy to boys. In this book Tom Newkirk takes an up-close and personal look at elementary boys and their relationship to sports, moives, video games, and other venures of popular culture. Unliken the alarmists, he sees these media not as enemies of literacy, but as resources for literacy. Thomas Newkirk Foreword by Ellin Oliver Keene |
